* Pride of place this week goes to Rory
Kavanagh. The young P.6 pupil at Sacred
Heart Primary played in front of a capacity
crowd at Breffni Park at half time in
the Ulster SFC clash between Cavan and
Down. Rory was part of the Down Primary
School's select team. This was a remarkable
feat and all at the club are very proud
of Rory.
* Saturday saw the final trial for the
Down U-17 squad. The club had three
representatives in attendance. They
were Martin Melville, Conor McShane
and Chris Hogg. The final squad will
be announced in the forthcoming weeks.
* Congratulations to Paul McComiskey
who was selected for the Down U-16 team
that played Cavan in Virginia on Sunday
morning.
* It is also good to see that the fine
talents of Conal McKee are being recognised.
Conal has been selected for the East
Down U-14 development squad.
* The Seniors dismal form sank to new
depths on Friday night. Glenn trounced
them on a scoreline of 3-12 to 0-04.
Mitchels visit this week with a 7.30pm
throw in. Kieran Walsh is on the comeback
road from injury whilst Martin Coughlan
has been ruled out of action for five
weeks.
* The Reserves flattered to deceive
again last Sunday, Bright overcoming
them by a point in Killough.
* The Minors bowed out of the Championship
at the first hurdle on Wednesday night.
Carryduff emerged victorious by thirteen
points. The side's task was made all
the more difficult as Ballykinlar failed
to send their contingent to the game.
The 'B' Championship now awaits.
* The U-16's lost only their second
league game of the season. Teconnaught
fought hard to go away with a three
point margin. Conor Kearney and Richard
Fitzsimons are currently on the injury
list and it should be another month
before they are able to return.
* After beating Bright the previous
week, the U-14's fell to a one point
defeat at the hands of Saul. However,
this team continues to improve as the
weeks go by.
* The U-12's game with Bredagh was postponed
because of the failure of the referee
to show. This game will take place on
a later date.
* The U-10's won their first game of
the season on Saturday morning. They
overcame parish rivals Ballykinlar by
seven points. Jack Magee, Niall Strain,
Sanctun Byrne and Rory Kavanagh were
amongst the goal scorers.There were
very encouraging performances from Oisin
McKibbin, Declan Cunningham, Chris Baillie
and Jonathan Hogg.
*The club would like to extend it's
deepest sympathy to the Carr family
on the death of Peter.
